DJE YOU Won't believe where I found parts

[LuckyDog]

... If I understand this right then the intake gasket is part number 154-0733 as per the TM on this website that I downloaded--figure 35 on page 120 item number 3.

Did I get that right?

Thanks!

Yes, you got it right. Sears Parts Direct has it.

FYI, I got the Champion CH-42 glowplugs from NAPA for about 20 bucks each but had to buy a box of 10...

What was the napa part number for the glow plug?

 

[Jimc]

i went to my napa here and check just for the **** of it. i had to give the guy 2 days so he could dig. he could not get champion and he cross referenced the specs with all other brands and found nothing. since wellmen/dieselrx stopped making them seems like the ch42 is it. if im not mistaken champion quit making them as well. all thats left is what has already been produced so if you find em reasonable grab extras. i got lucky and recently found someone that didnt know what they had selling 20 or so of them on ebay for $6 each. i bought every one of em.

If I were to order some surplus glow plug kits would folks be interested in getting more than 1-2? Hoping to get some good prices back and be able to offer them at a decent price if they are needed so bad.

I dont use glowplugs hardly at all. My meps still start very easy at 35* which is as cold as it gets here. Curious to see how they behave after I move up to Utah.

I will test to see if I need any. I am willimg to bet I will need a few. If I do I would be interested for sure. Let me know what they would cost.

You can still buy the proper glow plugs right from Champion the only problem is they don't come with the copper gaskets.... yes they are the 24volt glow plugs.... http://www.championsparkplugs.com/product.aspx?zpid=26137

I have the CH42's and as TucsonVTXF indicated they don't come with the copper gaskets. I made some using a cut and flattened out copper water pipe and a hand metal punch. Took a few to get the center hole concentric but they worked.

How much can you get them for and when? I need all 4. they all tested 6-8 ohms

Would you be able to make a few more of those copper rings and send some out? The funny thing i found when looking into my glow plugs not working is that i never did see a copper washer or any washer on any of the 4 glow plugs. Unless they stated inside the unit when i pulled them out.

rob you can order the copper gaskets right from mcmaster carr for a couple bucks per 10pk. here is the part #94397A542

it could be that there are no gaskets on your plugs but its also very possible they are still stuck in the head. they like to do that.

Last time I bought the glow plugs I got them from here and ordered the the washers Jimc found at Mcmaster Carr.

[robkiller]

Should i have seen the old washers when i took them off? Or do tey fit inside the hole the plug goes into?

In believe if they are testing 6 ohms, they are fine.

I took them out and they glow perfect after 15-20 sec. So I would think they are ok. What concerns me is what happend to the washers? If I dont have washers how much would that effect my compression?

 

[storeman]

The washers are likely stuck in the chambers. Just tighten to specs on the washers that are stuck in there and go with it. 80% solution. Likely no impact on compression.

Lost one of the glow plug washers when I accidently dropped it on the ground yesterday, so
I just ordered a box of glow plugs (10) and a bag of copper washers.
I'm going to have extra if anyone needs them. PM me.

 

[Jimc]

just curious where you ended up getting your glow plugs. i know there have been some issues recently with being able to find them.

 

[bsorcs]

I tried the SearsPartsDirect route a few minutes ago. A plug kit for $104.97 showed up when I input 333-0107. Tried to learn via chat how many plugs were in the kit...no image or info on the page. Chat ended after I was not able to supply a model number; the chatter bailed.

Member hurst01 has MEP-002, 003 glow plugs here in classifieds.

I ordered them from Race-Mart, but their website is a little misleading. It lists them for $15 apiece but they are actually more than that and you have to buy a pack of ten. Also they are back-ordered, as they are at most places. I called the Champion factory (not called Champion anymore, BTW) and they said that they are quite a bit back-ordered on them, and that they only produce them once in awhile. They are due to fill "some" orders in the next few weeks.
All of the GP "kits" I have personally seen consist of one plug, one washer, and a crimp on wire connector and crimp-on blade terminal. These are not the weather-protected outdoor-type terminals, but the cheapo indoor rated non-sealed type.
